I'm an American listener,...I'm in total agreement. I'm an American listener, and have been for, an insanely long time, let's say. Ironically, the first CBC show I've encountered was Brave New Waves. NPR had nothing like this, so I was hooked right away, and it led me to other CBC shows which, at the time, were engaging as well. I've listened over the years, through the labor disruptions (in their words), and I even tried to listen after the first round of Radio Two changes. But as Alex rightfully put it, after this latest round, I don't see myself defending the CBC's continued existance (at least with this mindset).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957973598112717877.post-77892686941897966222008-04-02T13:47:00.000-07:002008-04-02T13:47:00.000-07:00Speaking as a child of the corporation, and as som...Speaking as a child of the corporation, and as someone who has witnessed both it's radio and TV programming gutted by visionless fools in its upper echelons, I'm finding it harder and harder to defend the existence of the CBC, at least in it's current form. There was a time, not even that long ago that I almost came into a physical confrontation with a coworker on the topic... that fervor has been deadened by the disregard of those in power for the corp's meaning and role in Canadian culture. I no longer hold that the CBC must exist as I once did, frankly if the other option is to see its legacy slowly eroded away to nothing by failed attempts to compete with corporate media outlets, I'd rather see it dismantled. There, I said it.alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09834212543533775589noreply@blogger.com
